Men who have been on parental leave have a significantly reduced risk of being hospitalized due to alcohol consumption, finds a new study from Sweden, where fathers are encouraged to use 30 days of parental leave since 1995. https://www.su.se/department-of-public-health-sciences/news/fathers-parental-leave-might-protect-men-against-alcohol-related-morbidity-1.680662 75 comments science
- Turborotalita quinqueloba, a subpolar planktic foraminifera associated with Atlantic water, expanded far into the Arctic Ocean during the Last Interglacial. This implies that summers in the Arctic were ice free during this period. We see signs of this process starting to occur today. https://www.su.se/english/news/invasion-of-plankton-species-reveals-a-seasonally-ice-free-arctic-ocean-during-the-last-interglacial-1.664106 7 comments science

- Large parts of Europe are warming twice as fast as the planet on average. As a consequence of human emissions of greenhouse gases, the climate across the continent has also become drier, particularly in southern Europe, leading to worse heat waves and an increased risk of fires. https://www.su.se/english/news/large-parts-of-europe-are-warming-twice-as-fast-as-the-planet-on-average-1.636252 2 comments environment

- Two liquids of water exist, around -63 Centigrade the two liquids exist at different pressure regimes with a density difference of 20%. By rapidly varying the pressure before the sample could freeze, it was possible to observe one liquid changing into the other in real time. https://www.su.se/english/news/two-liquids-of-water-exist-1.528339 3 comments science

- Planning and self control in animals do not require human-like mental capacities. Newly developed learning models, similar to models within artificial intelligence research, show how planning in ravens and great apes can develop through prior experiences without any need of thinking. https://www.su.se/english/research/research-news/great-apes-and-ravens-plan-without-thinking-1.414970 23 comments science
- Using x-ray lasers, researchers have been able to map out how water fluctuates between two different states when it is cooled. At -44°C these fluctuations reach a maximum pointing to the fact that water can exist as two different distinct liquids. The findings are published in the journal Science. http://www.su.se/english/research/research-news/the-origin-of-water-s-unusual-properties-found-1.363925 7 comments science
